Shadowy cabal[0] says: August is available. Should we book the entire
slot for OpenWRT and possibly Asterisk?

I personally am interested in Robert's question as well. We recently
went through the same exercise of finding a good OpenWRT-compatible
router to purchase, but got frustrated because there were few solid
recommendations (and solid recommendations were not that well
supported given hardware revisions). We ended up getting Mikrotik
routers, which in principle are OpenWRT-compatible but which in
practice we will use with the stock proprietary firmware (which
provides the features we would want out of the box). I do not know
that I am looking for detailed step-by-step instructions, but a few
solid recommendations of reliable routers that are well-supported
would be nice.

shadowy FLOSS Fund cabal.
